Cosmic Monument

After a day of thunder and rain the sky suddenly cleared and gave way to a truly cosmic display behind the famous buttes of monument valley.

 

The foreground and the buttes were lit by some passing cars, while the orange glow on the horizon is caused by lightpollution from some nearby small towns.

 

Camera: Canon EOS 7D Mark ll

Lens: Samyang 10mm at f/2.8

Mount: iOptron SkyTracker

 

Composite of two 180s photographs at ISO 1600. One untracked for the foreground and one tracked for the sky.
